Forty Years After Null (There’s No Answer To The Riddle) lyrics

[Verse 1]
My friend, sweet friend, is everyone condemned?
We sleep and dream to never wake again
You plead to see in the church of no belief
A way that hope is predestined to succeed

Tonight, this night brings a tranquilizing sense
I killed and killed, and I swear I'll kill again
We drink our dreams with the sanctity of tears
And cry in vain to expiate our fears

[Chorus]
There's no answer to the riddle
There's no meaning to our lives
Our existence has no context
There's no god or grand design

[Verse 2]
My friend, sweet friend, we truly are condemned
We sleep alone and never wake again
We cleanse ourselves in the blood of our beliefs
This hand, this knife are the eyes I use to see

Let's drink and dance to wash away the pain
The stars that die will never burn again
We build our dreams from birth until the end
From blood we come, in blood we shall descend
[Chorus]
There's no answer to the riddle
There's no meaning to our lives
Our existence has no context
There's no god or grand design

There's no answer to the riddle
There's no meaning to our lives
Our existence has no context
There's no god or grand design
